Melvin Guillard said Bellator gave him the opportunity to choose his opponent for his debut fight at Bellator 141. Brandon Girtz responded with a split decision victory to upset Guillard in the lightweight main event.

At Friday’s Bellator 123 event, Tamdan McCrory made his return to the cage after a five-year break from competition. And the “Barncat” needed just 21 seconds to post a “Knockout of the Year” candidate.
